A rocket-and-runway pitch event for young founders, with a public marketplace and a deal-making deck for established businesses. Winners land a real storefront on Youngpreneur Square.
We can start virtual, open to young founders anywhere, and grow into the room. Same journey, same awards, whichever runway we take off from.
Submissions, judging, the public vote, and a live-streamed Takeoff, open to founders beyond St. George. The fastest way to get the first cohort off the ground.
The full experience, the Launchpad, a real Cargo Bay marketplace, and the Connection Runway for investors, hosted live as the event grows.
Each zone draws a different crowd, so no one feels like just another vendor table.
Pitch prep and finalist staging, where young founders get ready and take the stage.
The pop-up marketplace floor, shop the young founders and local businesses, live.
Mentorship, deal-making, and the adult pitch track, entered through the Flight Deck.
Nine finalists, three each from Elementary, Middle, and High School, take one stage. Winners are chosen on pitch quality alone.
Open to everyone. The public vote celebrates the crowd favorite and decides the Charter Award, it doesn't pick the finalists, so every complete submission has a shot.
